Win2000 server
Oracle 8i
Working fine last night, seems to have been caused by a backup ( backup utility used = Backup Exec 8.5 ) Can't seem to get around this, reboot dont work either.. please help!..

I have the same problem as above, that is ORA error : startup or shutdown in progress . . . I shutdown the instance cleanly with shutdown immediate. When I try to startup I get the database will start but not open. I get the error that the database needs recovery. I recovered the database with "recover database" command. After that I tried to open the database with resetlogs option but receive the error ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery o be consistent.
ORA-01110: data file 1 : 'G:\ORACLE...\SYS01.DBF'
